Abstract: To prevent inadvertent illumination of a light emitting diode L1 (or set of light emitting diodes 201a-201b) by stray currents at extremely low levels, a quiescent current limiting resistive load R1 is connected in parallel with the light emitting diode L1, sized to conduct a desired minimum current at the lowest forward voltage drop at which the light emitting diode L1 is expected to properly illuminate. Rather than connecting the resistive load R1 across the input/output ports 204a-204b of the driver circuit 200, in parallel with any biasing resistance R2 and the light emitting diodes 201a-201b, the load R1 is connected directly in parallel with the light emitting diodes 201a-201b.  Additional current through the load R1 as the voltage across the input/output ports 204a-204b increases is thus effectively capped by the maximum forward voltage drop across the light emitting diodes 201a-201b.

Abstract: The invention relates to a waveguide, which is part of an integrated optical circuit. The waveguide is arranged onto a planar substrate, and it has a core section propagating light to a certain direction, the direction of propagation. According to the invention, the waveguide is a conversion waveguide (60) between a ridge-type waveguide (61) and a strip waveguide (62). In the conversion waveguide, the core section is made of the one and same material so that the cross-section of the core section transverse to the direction of propagation of light is two-step (6; 61a, 62a; 61b, 62b) from both edges (60a, 60b). The conversion waveguide has two layers (60 1, 60 2) of different widths (1 60a, 1 60b) so that the height (h60a) of the first layer (60 1) is equal to the height of the ridge (61 1) of the ridge-type waveguide (61), and the height (h60b) of the second layer (60 2) is equal to the height of the base part (61 2) of the ridge-type waveguide (61), and in which the sum of the heights (h60a, h60b) of the layers (60 1, 60 2) is equal to the height of the strip waveguide (62), and the widths of the two layers (60 1, 60 2) are arranged to change uniformly between the waveguides to be connected for fitting them together in the lateral direction.  The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing a waveguide onto a substrate.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des populations de cellules neuronales portant des marqueurs de cellules gliales, p. ex. oligodendrocytes et leurs précurseurs. Les populations sont produites par la différenciation de cellules souches myéloïdes telles que des cellules souches embryonnaires humaines, dans des conditions qui favorisent l'enrichissement des cellules par un phénotype ou une capacité fonctionnelle voulus. Diverses combinaisons de facteurs de différenciation et de mitogènes peuvent être utilisées pour produire des populations de cellules portant des marqueurs de cellules précurseurs d'oligodendrocytes. Une différenciation ultérieure produit des processus complexes caractéristiques d'oligodendrocytes à maturité. Les cellules peuvent former des gaines de myéline et peuvent être utilisées à des fins thérapeutiques pour améliorer la fonction du système nerveux central.

Abstract: A self light-emitting device 1 has spherical photo-electric converting elements 2 that have a substantially spherical acceptance surface, respectively; a light emitting diode 3 that emits light using electric power generated by the spherical photo-electric converting elements 2; a control circuit 5; and a sealing member 4 that integrates the spherical photo-electric converting elements 2, the light emitting diode 3 and the control circuit 5. The control circuit 5 is equipped with a light emitting control circuit where a photo-detecting sensor 23 is incorporated, a charge control circuit and a condenser. Since the acceptance surface of the spherical photo-electric converting elements 2 is substantially spherical, electric power is generated due to incidental light from any angle. Since the sealing member 4 integrates the constructional elements, so the device is difficult to damage.

Abstract: Lors d'un entraînement à vitesse constante (lors d'une croisière automobile) le procédé selon l'invention permet d'exécuter une commande proportionnelle afin de définir une ouverture d'accélérateur Acc correspondant à une vitesse de véhicule observée et à une vitesse de véhicule cible. Lorsque l'ouverture d'accélérateur Acc est inférieure à une ouverture prédéfinie A2 incluse dans une zone morte dans laquelle une demande de couple Tr* est maintenue égale à 0, le procédé permet de corriger l'ouverture d'accélérateur Acc afin d'avoir une demande de couple Tr* correspondante incluse dans une zone négative dans laquelle la demande de couple Tr* prend des valeurs négatives et augmente linéairement. Ledit système augmente la linéarité du graphique de demande de couple Tr* par rapport à l'ouverture d'accélérateur Acc lors de l'entraînement à vitesse constante, comparée à la linéarité lors d'un entraînement standard.
